1) 1/n is terminating decimal number, where n=1,2,4,5,8. Some eligible n are prime (2,5), others (1,4,8) are not.
NOT SUFFICIENT

2) 1/n has at least 3 non zero digits on right of decimal, where n=3,6,7,8,9. Some eligible n are prime (3,7), others (6,8,9) are not.
NOT SUFFICIENT

1)+2) only n=8 satisfies both statements. thus, n=8 is not a prime.
SUFFICIENT


FINAL ANSWER IS (C)
Thanks for lacktutor for correcting me.

If n is an integer from 1 to 9. Is n prime?

(Statement1): \(\frac{1}{n}\) is terminating decimal number.
—> if n=2(prime), then \(\frac{1}{2}\)= 0.5 (YES)
—> if n= 8(not prime), then \(\frac{1}{8}\)= 0.125 (NO)
Insufficient

(Statement2): \(\frac{1}{n}\) has at least 3 non zero digits on right of decimal.
—> if n=3(prime), then \(\frac{1}{3}=0.333\)... (yes)
—> if n= 8(not prime), then \(\frac{1}{8}= 0.125\) (NO)
Insufficient

Taken together 1&2,
—> only one value of n satisfies the both statements—>(n=8).
\(\frac{1}{8} = 0.125\), but n is not prime(always)
Sufficient

The answer is C

#1
1/n is terminating decimal number

Yes for 2,5 and 4 insufficient
#2

1/n has at least 3 non zero digits on right of decimal
Only possible no is 7 or 8
insufficient
from 1 &2
no has to be 8

IMO C

Hi, chondro48

If you combine statement 1&2 together, only n=8 satisfies the both statements, not n=3.
